What will win: Juno – I’m making a bold pick right here, predicting the “little movie that could” actually could win ths year.  I may be an idiot on this one.  We’ll see…
What I would have voted for: No Country For Old Men — I had a hard time choosing between this and There Will Be Blood.  It was a great year for movies and these two were tops.
